MicroSoft's Songsmith
Has anyone tried Microsoft's new Songsmith application? If so, what do you think about it and what have you done with it? If it's any good, perhaps someone could create a Microsoft Songsmith Group here at TG where creations could get posted. What do you all think?
The MicroSoft ad is rather hokey. There are reviews of the package out on the net that seem positive. I'm curious if anyone here has tried it for guitar instead of voice or has used the 'create your own chord progression/jam track' feature.
I know the ad and some "creations". I'm sure you've seen them on youtube (search for Roxanne and Songsmith for instance). They sound like 20-year-old midi keyboard demo song crap. I haven't tried it myself, and I don't plan to.
I can't imagine that it would be a useful songwriting tool. Learn the standard chord progessions instead, maybe get a cheap drum machine if you need to, and you're better off.
